Hi Malcolm.I Should have been more
specific. It is the
round
headlight model.the seals in question are
fixed to the headlamp panel and the bowel protrudes through it,hope that makes more sense,Myles

No not they ones, it is the ones for the bowls that the OP is asking for.
The ones he wants are used on Dolomites but not Stags or T2000s.

I may have one or two of those....I will check and let you know tomorrow.
If I do, it is free of charge, you can use one as a pattern to make copies (out of s/h inner tube rubber, maybe.) if necessary.

(There was a thread some time ago where Mark (memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=142)
had some made in EPDM rubber.)

Yes...

Glad you have got it sorted Myles.

I do indeed have a bowl seal that is suitable for using as a pattern, also found a good bowl too.
(I made a box for behind the outer headlamp, thereby removing the need for bowls and seals.
To form mud shields I simply used sides from plastic containers.)

you mean part number 627243, I had to make mine too.

I used a tool that I bought from a craft shop, a scapel on a compass, makes cutting circles very easy.

At least you're sorted now.
